Need a launchpad for your new commitment to going green?

Consider watching "Renewal: Stories from America's Religious-Environmental Movement."

This 90-minute film follows eight stories of Jews, Christians, Muslims and other people of faith standing up for the environment through innovative programs within their religious communities.

Among them: Evangelical Christians fighting mountaintop removal, a coal-mining process that is destroying Appalachia; Muslims supporting sustainable farming; Jews helping children experience the bond between nature and spirituality; and Mississippi Baptists using faith to raise awareness about a local industry's toxic contamination.

The film, which has aired on American Public Television stations across the country, is available for purchase at www.renewal project.net for $19.95. Discounts are available for multiple purchases.

The documentary spotlights real people developing real solutions.
